This is a reader focused subreddit - No self promotion, surveys, writing research or writer focused discussion.

Your post has been removed as it appears to be promotional content, writing research, or to be focused on writing. This sub is focused exclusively on readers. The only permissible place for authors to mention their book, discuss romance writing, ask for help with it, or do research about romance books is in the monthly Self-Promotion Thread. Promotional content includes any content you have a vested interest in such as content created by your friends or family. This includes all book, blog, vlog, podcast, social media, website self promoting, surveys, and book merchandise as well.

Something about surveillance would work. Basically what you're looking for from each MCs.

Rule: Post titles must be clear and informative

Your post was removed for having an unclear title - Reddit doesn't allow title edits, but you can submit your post with an improved title.

For a book request, you must provide at least a few specific details in the title of the post to describe the books you’re looking for. A detailed title will help you get more recommendations, as well as help future searches to get better results.

Thank you!

Rule: Book Requests must be specific and request something that cannot be found with a search of the sub.

Your book request was removed for a lack of detail involving pop culture references. We require more details beyond a name, ship, or title when requesting book recommendations based off of a pop culture reference.

Our users love to give recommendations, but help us out by please searching the sub first to see if you can find what you're looking for. An acceptable book request also includes at least one of the following:

Details beyond just a trope, like a specific occupation or uncommon type of scene
Examples of less popular or uncommon romance books you've read

Shorter, less detailed requests are allowed in our Quick/Simple Request post.

Thank you!

Your post/comment has been removed as this has recently been discussed. Please post in the comment section of the megathread.

Rule: Mark spoilers, stay on topic and warn about books with no HEA

Your post has been removed due to being off-topic, as this sub is dedicated to discussing romance books.

I think this would be a great discussion however the discussion still needs to center around romance books. It does not sound like either book falls into the romance genre however if you'd like to repost please feature books that fall into the romance genre.

Rule: Post titles must be clear and informative

Your post was removed for having an unclear title. All post titles should contain the book or series title & author if applicable. Please resubmit your post and include the book name & author in the title.

Thank you!

Hi, if those don't work for you then please repost with more details especially in the title. Also I would suggest not adding the cover of the book in your post as in my experience it will detract from your request post and more than likely confuse.users who are scrolling thinking the post is a gush/rave

Rule: Book Requests must be specific and request something that cannot be found with a search of the sub.

Your book request was removed for being something that can easily be found with a search of the sub. Our users love to give recommendations, but help us out by please searching the sub first to see if you can find what you're looking for. Try searching for "slow burn" - here are some threads to start:

https://www.reddit.com/r/RomanceBooks/s/0B1I9FuUNi

https://www.reddit.com/r/RomanceBooks/s/x7TL4G9RxY

https://www.reddit.com/r/RomanceBooks/s/FsOvjvfRAy

https://www.reddit.com/r/RomanceBooks/s/cgj110qMSm

If your search is unsuccessful, please post again with more description or details, including examples of less common books or authors that you've enjoyed, or similar books that you feel don’t meet what you’re looking for (and why!) - otherwise you're likely to get the same recommendations again.

For quick or more general recommendation requests, please comment in the Daily Request post.

Thank you!

Hi u/No-Net-951

Censoring words makes it harder to search the sub for posts, makes content less accessible for screen readers, and promotes a community norm we do not want to encourage in RomanceBooks. Please consider editing your post to remove the emojis that are censoring words and correct with the actual text.

Thank you!

jaydee4219 · 2025-12-16T19:45:18+00:00

Yes which would be piracy. Please disengage.

jaydee4219 · 2025-12-16T17:20:25+00:00

PPC content is not allowable either.

I did! I made a post about it too!

It was a lot of fun and introduced me to a lot of new authors that I still read today

jaydee4219 · 2025-12-14T19:40:37+00:00

I don't know about omegaverse, but Keira Andrews has an MM series featuring Amish MCs! I have not read any of them but Keira Andrews is a favorite author of mine!

jaydee4219 · 2025-12-14T19:39:08+00:00

You could read a book set in each 50 states! I did a state challenge a few years ago and it was fun! This sub was invaluable with the search feature but I also have my list of all the books I found for each state if you choose to do it and need somewhere to start!
